Mark Ronson has ended up in hospital after injuring himself during a DJ set.
The producer posted a photo of himself giving the thumbs up from his hospital bed on Instagram, revealing that he had injured his bicep tendons during a mishap with a stage monitor.
Nonetheless, he still finished the set in spite of his injury.
“That time the house PA was so bad that I tried to one-hand turn the stage monitor towards the crowd mid-mix to give them some extra juice,” the caption read. “Turns out they weigh more than I thought…Two popped bicep tendons and one finished gig later, here we are, baby! #tornthisway”

The injury comes just days after Ronson announced details of a new memoir called Night People, which is set to centre around New York City in the ‘90s.
The new book is written by the multi-award-winning producer and set to be published on September 25 (pre-order it here). In the memoir, Ronson seeks to capture his first-hand recollections of the most intriguing aspects of New York City across the 1990s, and give insight into the music, characters and escapades that shaped his formative days as a DJ.
According to a new description, it explores how the artist has always been a night owl, and first began delving into the world of nightlife and music when he moved to the Big Apple from London at a young age.
The book also is set to recall how Ronson overcame the feeling of being an “outsider” after throwing himself into the parties and hip-hop culture at the time, as well as paint imagery of the unmistakable atmosphere of NYC during that era.
“DJing in ‘90s New York City informed everything I ever did after, becoming the foundation for all my future work and creativity,” he said. “In Night People, I wanted to capture that transformative period of my life and celebrate three of my great loves: the art of DJing, the thrilling energy of New York City after dark, and the wild and wonderful characters who populated our world and became my second family.
“This book is my love letter to a vanished era that shaped not just my career but my identity – a time when finding my craft put me on the path to finding myself.”
